[Verse 1] You came in late With rain on your cuffs One shoe untied Still talking tough I saw your name On my cracked-up screen Like a match in the glovebox In a car I can't leave [Pre-Chorus] And I tried to stay cool Tried to stay still But you keep pulling Like a downhill wheel My hands on the wheel My head in the storm One look from you And the floor is gone [Chorus] Asphalt heart, don't break Asphalt heart, don't shake You hit me fast You leave a mark Asphalt heart, don't break (Asphalt heart) You drag me back Down in the dark Asphalt heart [Verse 2] You laugh like a dare At a red light glow I keep one hand closed On what I don't show Your keys hit the tray My pulse hits the roof I said "I’m fine" But that's not the truth [Pre-Chorus] And I tried to stay cool Tried to stay still But you keep pulling Like a downhill wheel My hands on the wheel My head in the storm One look from you And the floor is gone [Chorus] Asphalt heart, don't break Asphalt heart, don't shake You hit me fast You leave a mark Asphalt heart, don't break (Asphalt heart) You drag me back Down in the dark Asphalt heart [Bridge] Maybe I'm built For the skid and slide For the hard rain And the burn inside If you're gonna stay Then stay all in 'Cause I keep on falling Where you begin [Chorus] Asphalt heart, don't break Asphalt heart, don't shake You hit me fast You leave a mark Asphalt heart, don't break (Asphalt heart) You drag me back Down in the dark Asphalt heart
